Not unless you're trying to run a 32bit application, like Steam for Linux where some of the games only run on 32bit.

In my case, I got the "failed to connect to Bumblebee daemon" erro because I hadn't added myself to the bumblebee usergroup. As soon as I did that, I no longer got the error.

sudo nano /etc/group and add make sure your user name is in the bumblebee group. If it isn't, then you've found what the problem is. Add it, save, reboot and optirun/primusrun should work

So I removed all of the *-bumblebee packages and tried to install the regular packages. I noticed that even with multilib repo enabled there is no longer a "lib32-nvidia-utils". To clarify, were you guys able to get bumblebee working with lib32-primus-git with the * packages? I am at work atm but I will try to get more details in a bit.

Edit: NM I'm an idiot. I left a comment in the multilib heading in /etc/pacman.conf. Oops!

However, I then replaced all the *-bumblebee packages (AUR) by the official * packages from the repos, a step that was so far marked as wrong and bad. Too bad there was no note put up anywhere about this suddenly changing into exactly the opposite. Thanks for mentioning it in this thread though, iambig, so this problem ended up pretty easy to solve.Now it works again, whoo!

Hm, so far it was emphasized NOT to install nvidia, because that would actually break it, but to use nvidia-bumblebee instead.Do you maybe have a link to information saying that it is now exactly the other way round?Has 'nvidia' been confirmed to work with bumblebee by anyone? Does it work for you?

Edit: I just saw in my Xorg.8.log:

[633217.731] (WW) NVIDIA: This server has an unsupported input driver ABI version (have 19.1, need < 19.0). The driver will continue to load, but may behave strangely.

Maybe this has to do with it? It seems there might be a version conflict between X and nvidia drivers?

If anyone can confirm that the basic 'nvidia' packages are indeed replacing 'nvidia-bumblebee' now, instead of the other way round, I'll give them a try

That error message is a bit different from mine, but I still tried it:1) I deleted the busid.conf file2) I did sytemctl restart bumblebeed.servicebut it didn't change anything.

However, that thread gave me the idea to check Xorg.8.log, I posted a suspicious line in my reply in the next posting below.^^

nvidia-bumblebee

is deprecated, you should install

nvidia

.otherwise i am not still able to use optirun/primus. And the reason is this

primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib32/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib32/nvidia-bumblebee/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

bumblebee try to use nvidia-bumblebee instead of nvidia.When I will find the solution I am going ot update you.

This time I get the above error message when trying to use primusrun:

<<SOLUTION: Replace all the *-bumblebee packages by * packages, this means enabling multiverse repo and drawing all of it from official repos instead of anything from AUR. Examples: nvidia instead of nvidia-bumblebee, primus instead of primus-git, nvidia-utils instead of nvidia-utils-bumblebee, lib32-nvidia-utils instead of lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee. Some time ago the 'official' instructions were exactly the other way round, but it seems this was now completely reverted.>>

I noticed:1) primus in official repos (I was using git so far) causes a timeout from about 40 mirrors until it finds one where the download works. I hope that's no bad sign of some sort?2) bumblebeed update created new bumblebee.conf.pacnew and xorg.conf.nvidia.pacnew3) off-topic: When I clicked 'logout' in XFCE's applications menu, usually I get a box where I can pick whether I wanna logout/restart/shutdown etc, but this time it just straightly logged me out (makes sense I guess).4) after rebooting my system I saw I think two systemd error messages pop up for a split second, that usually did not occur.5) Xorg.8.log had the line "[633217.731] (WW) NVIDIA: This server has an unsupported input driver ABI version (have 19.1, need < 19.0). The driver will continue to load, but may behave strangely.", is this responsible maybe? Version conflict between X and nvidia?

I tried:I restarted after the pacman -Syu update. I tried primusrun-git from AUR and primusrun from <community> but both exit with the error message.I tried the new conf files (copied the pacnew files to the normal filenames) but they don't work either.

PS: In this light I was wondering whether the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee article is still up to date or might need reworking of some sort (I don't have any actual ideas to base this on though, was just a thought)
